The yellow ribbon campaign started at First Baptist Church. “It started there, but in this community we work as a whole, not an individual group,” said Hall.

Ribbons are seen in all sizes. Big ones on fences, medium ones on flags and small ones pinned on shirts. “Oh, it's been wonderful," Hall said.

And while loved ones are overseas their families back home see the ribbons, symbols of hope for a safe return The yellow ribbon began as a symbol of hope that POW's or MIA's would return safely.

Now it also includes disasters like car accidents and missing children.
